Mike Mularkey submitted his resignation to the Buffalo Bills yesterday, a person familiar with discussions between the coach and the team said.
The Bills will formally announce the coach’s resignation during a news conference this morning.
ESPN.com reported that Mularkey had reached a settlement with the team to cover the final three years of his contract and said Mularkey’s decision to leave the team was because of undisclosed family reasons.
Mularkey has a 14-18 record in two seasons with Buffalo. The Bills were 5-11 in 2005 and missed the playoffs for a sixth straight year.
